Nelle Kennedy

Mrs. Nelle E. (Ames) Kennedy, 82, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, passed away Tuesday, July 15, 2014, at the Davis Hospice Center. Mrs. Kennedy was born July 11, 1932, in Cheyenne, a daughter of the late Arlo and Carol (Butcher) Ames. Nelle was a devoted mother, homemaker and expert seamstress who could accomplish anything she set her mind to. She was a wonderful cook and her signature dish was beef and noodles. She also made many beautiful birthday and wedding cakes. Nelle had an uncanny way of making all in her reach feel important and loved. She had a generous heart, putting others needs above her own. She never missed a chance to help others in need. She will be remembered as a loving mother who gave her children all that she could. They were aware of her work, worry and sacrifice. She was a gift of God. Nelle is survived by six children, Kenny Federer of Cheyenne, Annie Federer of Ft. Collins, CO, Marion Federer of Rock Springs, WY, Ernie Federer (Marilyn) of Cheyenne, Lloyd Federer of Cheyenne, and Eileen Federer Williams (Tim) of Highland, UT; a sister, Mildred Warr of Little Rock, AR; a brother, Ken Ames of Denver, CO; and Grannie to her 16 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She is preceded in death by her parents and two sons, Les Federer and Kevin Federer. Services by her family will be held at a later date. Cremation is under the direction of Schrader Funeral Home. A sincere note of appreciation to Davis Hospice for their excellent and compassionate care. The past few weeks spent at her bedside will be cherished by her family. "Bye, bye for now". We love you mom!
